It does what it is meant to do
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
The book is just about three mice who mix up colors to make other colors. As an adult, I honestly find it a little painful to read. But my son, who is just turning four, loves the book. It's one of his favorites. Now, whenever we paint, he specifically sets out to mix the paints and make new colors. I think this falls into that category of books that succeed in the specific task they were written for. Just as Good Night Moon was written specifically to give parents a bedtime routine that ended in actual sleeping, this book was written to teach kids about mixing colors. It does that, and it does it very well.
A Classic

Love this book. The large lap-sized board book style is wonderful way to enjoy the colors. Simple, but fun story demonstrating color mixing. Great illustrations. Has inspired many painting projects by my 2 year old! I also recommend Mouse Shapes by same author.
kids can't get enough!

My three-month old son doesn't have much of an attention span, but he stares mesmerized at this book! I enjoy reading it to him frequently - the images are simple yet very well done, the text is interesting and fun, and the story is very cute. I'm sure I'll be reading it to him over and over and over. The large size is great for a baby, it is easy to hold him on my lap with the book in front of us. Great book to start reading to an infant, and I'm looking forward to continuing with it when he's older and can start to learn about mixing colors. I'll be buying more of Ms. Walsh's books!
My favorite little art helpers.

As an elementary art teacher I have seen many many color themed books. This is the one I use every year in grades K-3, they never get tired of it, it's a wonderful refresher for them. It's endearing and educational at the same time. You just can't go wrong with "Mouse Paint".
